Brief description of site

Workington Hall is now in ruins. The landscape park of about 106 hectares remains.

Brief history of site

The site was originally occupied by a 14th century pele tower. Accounts in 1675 refer to a park which included a mansion house, courtyard, gardens, orchards, groves and woods. The park and grounds were laid out by Thomas White in the 1780s. Workington Hall was also modified during the 18th century. By 1929 the family had moved out and the house fell to ruin but it was made safe for visitors in the 1970s.
